Big Scary Animal Lyrics
by Belinda Carlisle

(Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Ralph Schuckett)

You keep talkin´ - who you trying to kid?
Tryin´ to keep your feelings hid
And I´m a prisoner of the past
It´s so hard to make a good thing last

We know history
Over and over, will it repeat
Hey you, it´s only me
No heart on my sleeve

Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don´t we know, it could be so beautiful
It´s too real
Situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is....
A big scary animal

Hey girl, be a man
Why´d you let it get out of hand
Hey boy, be a girl
Who wants to live in a man´s world?

Come down, feel the ground
We can´t keep going ´round and around
I know it´s only you
Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse?

Hey boy, serves you right
Why´d you have to take that bite
Hey girl, play your game
God knows they´re all the same

Hey girl, listen up
No use drink´ from that broken cup
Hey man, feel the fear
Someday I´m gonna catch your tears

Here we go, some things are inevitable
Don´t we know, it could be so beautiful
It´s too real
Situation flammable
Love is, love is, love is....
A big scary animal

No heart on my sleeve

Here we go, some things are inevitable
